Harvard i-lab | Creating Your Minimum Viable Product with Abby Fichtner

Do you have an idea for a startup but aren't quite sure where or how to start on your product? You can't just ask people what they want -- that's a great way to send yourself spinning in 50 different directions. And you can't just go off and start building the product you envision -- 9 out of 10 new products fail and If You Build It, They Will Come is not the path to success.

Creating Minimum Viable Products allows you to quickly test out the assumptions you're making about your business, validate that customers are indeed interested in -- and willing to pay for -- your solution, and help you to prioritize your product's features. Hear case studies on what other, well-known startups have done and learn a number of MVP tools you can use to get your startup on the path to viability.

I'm glad that several top tier universities are now posting their lectures on YouTube.

Fun and whimsical angle on MVP's and tools.

Great presentation.  I was surprized by her last comment "don't be too minimal" when the frist examples of an MVP were vaporware.  You can't get more minimal than vaporware and it seems that approach is sometimes valid.

I mean, I love that they're posting this kind of stuff, but you'd think that someone would offer her a mic

[artem]

[tyrones]

[torahislife]

great theories, but I bet not one of these know it all academics has ever done the hard work of creating a business. How many of these will ever do anything more than simply repeat what someone else told them?

[troooooper]

won't recommend watching this video.

it's mostly stories from outside perspective on few big companies that started small, probably has survivor bias, and doesn't really go into nitty gritty technical details or any good techniques.

We all know dropbox used a video to test demand, and you can make landing page to test something.

Safe time and skip.
